I think it would be desirable to have single toolchain, u-boot is a
stand alone app
in general, if your compiler can do multilib builds for 32bit then it
would be possible
to build it. May be you should work with the toolchain team for pine64 to see if
that can be done. It will simplify using this layer.

Other option I would suggest to build u-boot externally for your SoC, we do
not necessarily need a bootloader for building final images anyway.
